Erika Landin's Biography

Erika Landin from Chicago was a 36 year-old pilates instructor and bartender at Balboas when she entered Big Brother.

She appeared in Big Brother 4 and was the ninth person to be evicted and was one of the former housemates who were candidates for Big Brother 7: All-Stars. Erika was selected to enter as one of the four most popular women.

Erika Landin did really well in Big Brother - All Stars. She got to the final two but was just pipped at the post by Mike.

On CBS's site for Big Brother 4, Erika listed her favorites and revealed her likes included hiking with her dogs and golf.

Putting herself up for Big Brother All-Stars seemed to be going against her own advice - when asked by CBS "What advice would you give to future Big Brother houseguests?", Erika Landin replied:

"Don't do it. Be careful what you wish for. It's not what you think it's going to be, it never is. It's very difficult psychologically. It's very hard. Have a thick skin."
